📚 Secret Educational Schemes No One Utilizes

Everyone knows about scholarships like NSP or SC/ST benefits. But hidden deep in official portals and district files are lesser-known education schemes that 90% of students, parents — even school staff — don’t know.

These schemes give free tablets, travel money, course fees, coaching, and even laptops.
And guess what? Most of them go unused.

📖 1. Digital India Free Tablet Scheme (State-Specific)
In states like UP, Rajasthan, and MP — college students in govt institutions can apply for free tablets with pre-installed content.

✅ Eligibility:

Govt college / diploma students

Passed last year exam

Aadhaar + Mobile linked bank account

💡 Many students miss this due to zero awareness — available via college principal or nodal officer.

🧑‍🏫 2. Super 100 Coaching (Free IIT/NEET Coaching for Govt School Toppers)
States like Haryana & Chhattisgarh run this silent scheme:

Govt school students scoring 85%+ in 10th

Free JEE/NEET coaching by FIITJEE or Aakash

Residential + food + travel included

📌 Only 100–200 students selected, but barely 1/3rd apply!

🚍 3. Monthly Travel Allowance for Govt School Students
In states like Maharashtra, Bihar, and TN — rural school students get:

₹100–₹500/month as travel allowance

Paid directly to account

Only if school is >2km away

✅ Apply via headmaster — many don’t tell students!

🧾 4. Scholarship for Children of Prisoners / Widows
Yes — students with one parent in jail or deceased get:

₹5000–₹30,000 annually

Central + state-funded

Through Women & Child Welfare + Minority portals

💡 Forms often shared in orphan homes, but open to all.

📘 5. NIOS Credit Transfer Scheme (For Dropouts)
Failed in CBSE or State Board?

→ Apply to NIOS with old marksheet
→ Reappear in failed subjects only
→ Combine both results for govt jobs / college

✅ Saves years & gives fresh chance legally

🎓 6. Coaching for SC/ST/OBC Minorities by State Dept
Many backward class departments offer:

₹50,000–₹1,20,000 coaching grants

For IAS/UPSC/SSC/NEET

Free hostel + stipend

🔍 Available via state portals (not NSP)

🧠 Why These Go Unused:
No awareness in schools

Portal opens for short period

Forms often buried in district office PDFs

No social media promotion

💬 Real Case:
“I got ₹15,000 annual cash under ‘Beti Padhao’ just for attending school regularly. Principal never told us — a friend shared it.”
— Meena, Jharkhand

📌 Final Tip:
Don’t depend on your school — check district websites, SC/OBC/MOBC portals, and social media pages of Education Officers.

What’s ignored by the crowd becomes gold for the curious.
